Prognostic significance of heat shock protein 105 in lung adenocarcinoma.
Heat shock protein 105 (HSP105) is overexpressed in various tumors and is known to protect cells from cytotoxic stimuli. The prognostic significance of HSP105 expression in cancer has not been fully evaluated. Here, HSP105 expression in lung adenocarcinoma was immunohistochemically examined in 116 patients: 68 males and 48 females with ages ranging from 38-81 (median 63) years. Tumor stage was ...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of CD44 expression in adenocarcinoma of the lung.
Aims-To determine whether expression of CD44 in neoplasia is associated with tumour grade, stage and prognosis.Methods-The immunohistochemical expression of CD44 was evaluated using the mouse antihuman monoclonal antibody 3G12 which recognises regions shared by all CD44 isoforms to determine whether expression in formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded tissue correlates with tumour grade, stage o...
متن کاملFibroblast activation protein-α-expressing fibroblasts promote the progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by an extensive desmoplastic stromal response. Fibroblast activation protein-α (FAP) is best known for its presence in stromal cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Our aim was to assess whether FAP expression was associated with the prognosis of patients with PDAC and to investigate how FAP expressing CAFs contribute to the pr...
متن کاملIncidence and possible clinical significance of K-ras oncogene activation in adenocarcinoma of the human lung.
47 tumor samples, 45 of which were obtained at thoracotomy for non-small cell lung cancer were examined for mutational activation of the oncogenes H-ras, K-ras, and N-ras. A novel, highly sensitive assay based on oligonucleotide hybridization following an in vitro amplification step was employed. ras gene mutations were present in nine of 35 adenocarcinomas of the lung (all K-ras), in two of tw...
متن کاملPrognostic Significance of Erythropoietin in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
BACKGROUND Erythropoietin (Epo) administration has been reported to have tumor-promoting effects in anemic cancer patients. We investigated the prognostic impact of endogenous Epo in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). METHODOLOGY The clinico-pathological relevance of hemoglobin (Hb, n = 150), serum Epo (sEpo, n = 87) and tissue expression of Epo/Epo receptor (EpoR, n = 104...
